 Cope with the bloodshed--wet
shave
Perhaps you were feeling a little foggy this
morning and oops! You cut yourself. Here are some
techniques to stop the flow:
- The old tried and true: tear off a
tiny piece of tissue paper, just slightly larger
than the cut, and apply it to a bleeding cut.
Leave it on for at least five minutes (ten
minutes for a deeper cut) and tug off. Often the
wound will dry up nicely, leaving only a small
red dot.
- Styptic pencils: Yow! These
camphor-tipped sticks can sting a little, but
they work very well and quickly for small to
medium cuts. Moisten the tip, dab it on to the
wound and watch it dry up.
If you've really slashed yourself:
Swallow your pride and pull out the antiseptic
and small elastic bandages. Sure it might look a
little funny, but it's not as bad as an infected
cut on your face. If you're lucky the wound will
heal up enough by midday and you'll be able to
remove the bandage.
